MidnightBlue, 506 days is
FANTASTIC, congratulations. You've had enough power to stay sober all this time, so you are certainly not helpless by any stretch of the imagination, and that is proof that you can change. I am only beginning to overcome the expectations of "instant satisfaction" in everything I do that became hard wired into my brain from using chemical substance for decades. You are a well loved and needed friend here, rootin or ya.
